Aquatic Attachment Psychotherapy
Thanks for your interest in Attachment Training at Colorado Therapies with Annie Brook and team. Below is information about the training.
Dates and Details for Attachment Training 2010-2012:
Welcome to the training. This work teaches a tremendously valuable skill set. You will gain a thorough understanding of advanced clinical interventions and a personal opportunity to work issues from the inside out so that your learning is integrated. Early attachment dynamics underly many identity issues and couples/family dynamics. They also influence child behavior and school issues. Certification in Somatic Attachment Provided upon completion of all homework and evaluation of practice sessions.
Method: The training is a tapestry that weaves the following tools of support:
Perinatal work~ supports the understanding of early imprinting on the nervous system
and how this can be the basis of a client's initial template of shock and trauma
Somatic psychology~ supports healing psychological issues through the bodymind and provides skills for relaxation and coping at a deep nervous system level
Attachment therapy (with aquatic option)~ supports settling the nervous system, repatterning early bonding, and sustaining healthy relationships.
BodyMind Centering® based work~ supports repatterning the body through developmental movement, and body systems work using touch and movement
Format: 450 hour training in the following configuration:
6 weekend sessions per year. (every other month Fri. 2 pm- Sunday) through 2011. 1 saturday session on alternate months.
10 individual sessions required per year in bodywork or psychotherapy (lymphatic, cranial, BMC, advanced rolfing, and attachment psychotherapy)
Written self-discovery papers to help with integration
15 documented practice sessions per year
3 Early Imprinting Discovery workshops: These 3.5 day sessions are limited to 5 people who receive a complete focus on their pre-cognitive pattern dynamics and personal process. These courses are dynamic, respectful, and deeply influence shock patterns held in the bodymind. Cost $385 additional (or dependent on therapist fee).
The training requires an ongoing commitment of attendance for the duration of the training. If unforeseen circumstances occur that might influence your attendance, we will have videoed each session for you to review. You may also use your individual sessions to help get caught up or contract for a separate "update session."
